Great installation, Stichill.

Thanks, Cormanus. It can be done in a short afternoon or two evenings without rushing. If you plan to anchor the bracket through any kind of hole on the bike, I recommend picking up a few M5x0.8 stainless steel hex-socket, button-head screws in longer lengths, since two of the three included screws are pretty short (I ordered the [url=https://www.tutorochainoiler.com/collections/frontpage/products/tutoro-auto-trek-kit]TREK kit).

This is the Tutoro oil I reckon? I find it flows easily and does clean as your pictures portray.

Ultimately I settled on synthetic engine oil (5W40). It is strongly suggested to not use conventional engine oil in the Tutoro reservoir.

Yes, that seems to be a strong draw down for a 45 minute ride. Local roads are very bumpy?

I typically get 1500 to 2000 kms from a full fill.

I thought it had used a lot, then I realized my earlier photo was on the side stand and the photo today was on the rear stand, so kind of hard to tell. I probably need to stick a piece of painter's tape on there just to see how far it drops in a typical ride.

Thanks for the 5W40 synthetic tip. That's a good recommendation coming from you as an experienced user of these systems. I was a little worried about the cost of always having to import their special sauce from England (although I'm not opposed to supporting Tutoro, just not DHL as well). I just noticed it is sold out on their website.

One thing that's a little odd is that the temperature range for the original oil tops out at what I would consider right in the middle of normal riding temperature range: 25°C / 77° F. It would be very common for me to leave home in the morning with temperatures around 18° C / 65° F and by afternoon it would be 32° C / 89° F. They mentioned that some riders make a 50/50 blend of both oil grades ("Original" and "Plus 25") to address this issue, making me wonder why they don't just offer the blend as the all-rounder oil.
